And in reference to the "legal" aspect of it, I can't find any traffic law in the state of Maryland about vehicle weights, except that 26,001 lbs and over requires a CDL. There is always the potential that a civil attorney could weight the pieces of wreckage and determine that you were potentially 700 lbs over your GVWR and come after you for liability...
It seems that weight ratings are determined by the manufacturer to determine the most weight a truck can carry without having an unacceptable level of failure... IE its only important during your warranty period.
